romney at 47%. obama at 48. still very tight. >> that's right. what we'll see, by definition swing states are the closest ones. they will be close to the national average. if the national numbers stay close, the swing states will stay close. if i was romney campaign the one i would be worrying about still is ohio because that's a state where president obama is still outperforming his national numbers and ohio could be the device i sieve state once again in the college. patti ann: let's look specifically at president obama's approval rating in the swing states. it is 50/50, right down the middle. >> it is right down the middle. this is still primarily an election about the incumbent, a referendum on him. last wednesday in the debate, mitt romney presented himself as an acceptable alternative. that is helping his numbers overall but the president is still the defining factor in this race. right now americans are split right down the middle whether they want to keep him or fire him. patti ann: talk about that so-called debate bounce that romney got.

you're absolutely right. for decades the muslim brotherhood was the only game in town and the muslim brotherhood was not exactly welcomed by the egyptian government. it was harassed, suppressed, in jail. it was there. it has much deeper roots in egyptian society band the groups of secularists, a liberal intellectuals, etc. it is entirely possible that over time as the newly party comes face to face with the reality of governing a country that they will respond to that in various ways. if they do not master the very real and social economic problems, the egyptian public may shift its views over time. i am not saying that the current political figure configuration is letters carved into tablets of stone. not at all. at the same time, i think there is a lot of evidence to the effect that egyptian public opinion is deeply conservative on a range of religious issues. this is not an accident. i do not expect that to change. to the extent there are aspects of western culture that rub up against deep-seated religious

it's going to go right down to the wire. romney is going to win. he's going to win, i think, because really as people look at this, people i talk to in ohio, uncommitted voters, not really happy with what the president has done, but going into the debate, i don't think they had really seen enough of governor romney. i don't think they've had the opportunity to look at him in a long debate. when they saw it, they liked what they saw. the president had a very difficult time during that debate and you know, i think some of the commentators are saying he had an off night. i think part of the problem is he's got a position, he's got a record that's hard to defend. people are not happy with where we are in regard to foreign policy. they're not happy with where we are in regard to job creation in this country. it's very, very difficult frankly, to defend that. >> pete: let's talk about the defense and let's look at ho o. some of the president's people are saying that he's responsible for ohio's economic turn around, increase in employment in that state. w
